Kargil Vijay Diwas 20th Anniversary 26th July: Prime Minister Narendra Modi said this day reminds us of the “courage, bravery and dedication of our soldiers”, as he paid tribute to the “mighty warriors”.
The nation Friday commemorates the 20th anniversary of Kargil Vijay Diwas. From mid-May to July 1999, the Indian armed forces engaged in some of the fiercest battles to take back the high-altitude posts captured by Pakistan in Operation Vijay. The Army has said the occasion will be celebrated with the theme ‘Remember, Rejoice and Renew’. On the occasion, Army Chief General Bipin Rawat said that Pakistan “will get a bloodier nose” if it engages in any such “misadventure” in the future. Kargil Vijay Divas images
